April's engine of the month

[Powder keg]

Time to Pick Aprils engine of the month. I'll open a pole with the nominees and we'll all vote on them) This will run for 15 days. That will give me time to post the winner. Keep up the great work guys! I still haven't decided who I'm going to vote for on this one. It's going to be close, I think)


Isn't this exciting, Wes

Hey, We had a tie!!! Wahoo!! You guys did such a great job on your engines that it was very difficult to choose one over the other. The points were never more that two or three votes apart. You both should be proud of what you've built and will share in the glory) Both engines will be posted on the banner this month.

Great job guys!!!

Later, Wes

I changed the logo a few days early. If anyone ever wants to do some photoshop work feel free.

I did the best I could with the pictures I had.

As Rick said "Congratulations to both of you"! I must confess that I did not vote because I could not make a decision, both engines draw a great amount of admiration from me. They both deserve to be so honored.

I totally are with this. I pm'd after I voted that it was really hard to decide.
Congrats to both of you.

Well, although I didn't vote... please excuse the newbie! ( profile says something about having an advanced member ??!! )
I have got to say I think it would have been very difficult indeed, Both engines very stylish in very different ways. (Stirling engines have my full attention, I strive to obtain the accuracy required to build an army of them one day ;D ) Those fan blades are very cool (was that a pun? :-[ ) but in this case after much deliberation I would have had to opt for the 'nutty engine'.
The choice of materials and the sheer style from (please excuse the term) scrap,(and as far as I know an original design?) it's just quite simply in my humble opinion, fantastic! :bow:

Congratulations both on really good engines, :bow:

I will hopefully create something that looks as good and also runs! ;D

I enjoyed reading about both engines.Both fascinating to me....I didnt vote, wouldnt vote , there no way to vote one over another.......Unless several folks were building exactly the same engine, then you could say that one completed engine was superior to another..
.
.I'll finish my first engine eventually.Can an engine be shown without being subjected to the monthly competition?

 

[CrewCab]

As a total newbie I'm just ......... overwhelmed 8) ........ both are such excellent pieces of engineering ;D ............. I feel we need 2 votes ;D

Well done to both of you, If I can ever come close I'll be very pleased


btw .......... "newbie question" ......... where do I find the earlier "Engine of the Month" threads ............ errrrr ......... or is the first one
